It’s strenuous carrying the weight and expectations of an entire nation on your shoulders. Sometimes things get out of hand! Well, USWNT skipper Lindsey Horan is no exception. The player had a rough week after being embroiled in drama following her comments questioning the soccer fans across the nation. However, despite the drama, it seems like the player has a solid shoulder to rely on during her tough times.

It’s important to have a partner who can stand by you during your hard times, and it seems like Lindsey has the perfect partner in that regard. Unknown to many, the USWNT skipper is actually engaged. In fact, to an ex-soccer player. So, who’s her mystery partner? Well, let’s find out, shall we!!

Behind Lindsey Horan’s love life…

While known to be a private person off the field, Lindsey Horan provided her fans with a massive update last year as she announced her engagement on social media. The USWNT skipper met her partner Tyler Heaps during her time with the national team, with the duo dating each other since 2021. Heaps, unlike her wife, retired as an active player long ago and has been working as an analyst following his playing career.

Tyler, as a professional, has worked alongside the United States Soccer Federation, serving as the Director of Sporting Analytics. However, he left his role in 2021 to join the French side AS Monaco as their Head of Sporting Technology.

The two first met during the 2019 Women’s World Cup while Tyler was working behind the scenes with the team as their technical analyst. Tyler, similar to his partner, has a reserved social media presence and prefers to keep his private life under the covers. However, it seems like the two are growing out of their shells following the engagement with Lindsey, occasionally sharing photos with her partner on Instagram.

While the USWNT skipper seems all settled with her current partner, her name has been linked to different people in the past. However, there’s one surprising coincidence in all the names. Well, they are all ex-soccer players!

Who has the USWNT skipper dated before Tyler Heaps?

Before her engagement to Heaps, Lindsey was in a relationship with fellow American soccer star Allie Long. The two started dating each other back in 2016, but following Lindsey’s move to Portland Thorns, the couple decided to part ways. Following her break-up with her ex-teammate, Lindsey was also rumored to be dating fellow USWNT teammate Tobin Heath.

However, the two have never commented on their relationship rumors, with their status as an ex-couple still in the air. Despite all that, it seems like Lindsey Horan has finally found her perfect partner in Tyler Heaps, with the two going headstrong in their relationship.
